EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): What It Means for Your Products

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) establishes mandatory cybersecurity requirements for all products with digital elements placed on the EU market. It compels manufacturers, developers, and importers to adopt secure‑by‑design practices, maintain continuous vulnerability management, and provide long‑term security support throughout the product lifecycle.

The CRA applies to everything from small IoT devices to complex network infrastructure, requiring:

Failure to comply can result in market withdrawal, fines, and reputational damage. Kokobo helps organizations navigate these requirements with clarity, structure, and technical depth.

Kokobo’s EU CRA Compliance Services

Kokobo supports organizations across all industries in achieving full CRA compliance—from early‑stage product design to post‑market monitoring. Our services are tailored to IoT manufacturers, telecom and network equipment vendors, industrial device makers, and any company building products with digital elements.

1. CRA Gap Analysis

Kokobo begins by mapping your current security posture against CRA requirements. Our gap analysis provides a clear, prioritized roadmap instead of a vague list of issues.

What Kokobo Does

Deliverables

Kokobo ensures you start with clarity and a shared internal understanding of what CRA compliance requires.

2. Risk Assessment & Threat Modeling

The CRA is fundamentally risk‑based. Kokobo builds defensible, repeatable risk assessments aligned with the regulation and suitable for Notified Bodies.

What Kokobo Does
